Moses Appel, PhD's approach
At ADO Psychology Center, our approach is deeply rooted in compassion and evidence-based methods that foster personal growth and recovery. We draw from a evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). By incorporating these evidence-based practices, we offer a comprehensive and effective approach to supporting individuals in their journey toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
I firmly believe that every individual is unique, with their own distinct needs and life experiences. That's why we prioritize creating individualized treatment plans tailored to address each client's specific needs. Establishing a safe and supportive environment is at the heart of our practice. We understand that meaningful progress can only occur when individuals feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Our goal is to cultivate this sense of safety and trust, empowering our clients to develop practical strategies for effectively addressing the challenges they face.

Moses Appel, PhD's experience working with the Jewish community
At ADO Psychology Center, our dedication to serving the Jewish community is a top priority, and we hold a profound respect for Jewish values and Halacha (Jewish law).
Our team is well-versed and highly knowledgeable when it comes to addressing mental health challenges within the cultural context of the Jewish community.

When working with individuals who hold Halacha in high regard, we prioritize the utmost respect for both the individual and their religious beliefs throughout the course of treatment. This approach ensures that individuals receive the support they need while honoring their faith and values.
